Art Buds

Art Buds: Spring's Coming!

Art Buds encourages interaction for youngsters and adults alike, as well as an early appreciation of the natural world by making use of our outdoor spaces and using natural and sustainable materials where we can.

Led by professional Artists Associates from Milton Keynes Arts Centre, the activities will informally help children develop skills in line with the Expressive Arts and Design, objectives of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, opportunity to develop imagination, self-expression and communication through the arts.

Thursdays 15 & 29 February, 7& 14 March 2024, 10am – 11.15am

Milton Keynes Arts Centre, Parklands,Great Linford, MK14 5DZ

Join artist Alice Boland-Rhodes for a series of wild outdoor early year adventure sessions taking inspiration from wildlife and the environment and using natural and found materials to make art. Over four weeks, young artists will be introduced to natural print making, hangings and sculpture.

In February, materials such as clay, sticks and fabric will be used to create dens, warrens and other wildlife homes. In March, plants and water will be used to create natural paints and make marks – things may get a little messy, so please dress appropriately.

There is a suggested donation of £3 per child on the door for each session.
